The primary source of the appeal of Christianity was Jesus - His incarnation His life His crucifixion and His resurrection.
To a Christian Easter Sunday means everything when we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The supernatural birth of Christ his miracles his resurrection and ascension remain eternal truths whatever doubts may be cast on their reality as historical facts.
The foundation of our religion is a basis of fact - the fact of the birth ministry miracles death resurrection by the Evangelists as having actually occurred within their own personal knowledge.
I think that the core doctrines of Christianity - the incarnation the resurrection life after death-these are as strong as ever. In fact the belief in life after death has increased in this century.
I believe that his death and resurrection transformed humanity's relationship with God.
Faithfulness to the past can be a kind of death above ground. Writing of the past is a resurrection the past then lives in your words and you are free.
Every spiritual tradition has this idea of death and resurrection. It's not unique to Christianity.
Every parting gives a foretaste of death every reunion a hint of the resurrection.
The symbolic language of the crucifixion is the death of the old paradigm resurrection is a leap into a whole new way of thinking.
